Hello and welcome to Sam Claflin Source, a fansite dedicated to the very talented actor Sam Claflin and his fans. We aim to bring you all the latest news, photos and information on Sam. Thank you for visiting and we hope to see you again very soon!

Good Deed Entertainment, the company that also acquired Oscar buzzed about ani feature Loving Vincent, has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Journey’s End from London’s Metro International Entertainment. It plans a Spring 2018 theatrical release for the Saul Dibb-directed film which recently premiered at Toronto and played at the London Film Festival.

Set in the trenches of WWI, the film is based on English WW1 officer R. C. Sherriff’s play and his rediscovered novel co-written with Vernon Bartlett. The story follows 18-year-old new recruit Lieutenant Raleigh (Butterfield) who has pulled strings to join his childhood friend and hero Captain Stanhope (Claflin) on the front line. However, Stanhope is horrified by Raleigh’s arrival into the tension and claustrophobia of the officers’ dugout where they are anticipating a massive German advance. Stanhope has been altered almost beyond recognition by three years of
war, kept going only by the thought that when the war is over he can return to his love – Raleigh’s sister Margaret.

Guy de Beaujeu produced alongside Reade through Fluidity Films. The production is backed by the BFI (with money from UK’s The National Lottery), Fluidity Films, British Film Company, Metro International, Ingenious, The Welsh Government’s Media Investment Budget and Adrian Politowski’s Umedia.

As a play, Journey’s End was first presented at the Apollo Theatre in London, December 1928. The story dramatizes WW1’s actual Spring Offensive, launched by the Germans on March 21, 1918, at St Quentin, France, their last advance of the War.

“We are deeply honoured to be involved in the release of Journey’s End. The film gives a personal voice to the soldiers of WWI and shines a light on their bravery, humanity and humility,” said GDE’s CEO & Founder Scott Donley. “The story might be historical, yet it somehow couldn’t feel more timely.”

Since R.C. Sherriff wrote it way back in 1928, the World War I play Journey’s End has become a staple of theatres, GCSE English students – and occasional film adaptations. It’s been adapted for screen four times previously, and now a new version is in the pipeline from The Duchess/Suite Francaise director Saul Dibb. The first trailer has arrived – take a look below.

Offering a bleak, damning view of life in the trenches, Journey’s End sees Asa Butterfield play Raleigh, a naive young officer posted to a war-weary C-company in northern France. There he reunites with old friend Captain Stanhope (Sam Claflin), whose experience has changed him dramatically. Fellow officers Osborne, Hibbert, and Trotter (Paul Bettany, Tom Sturridge and Stephen Graham, respectively) and their cook Mason (Toby Jones) also share a claustrophobic trench.

Directed by Saul Dibb, Journey’s End is a WWI drama based on the play of the same name based by R.C. Sherriff. In the exclusive clip, we see Sam Claflin as a war-weary Captain Stanhope, leading men into battle. The film also stars Asa Butterfield, Toby Jones, Stephen Graham, Tom Sturridge, and Paul Bettany.

Set during 1918, Stanhope leads the C-Company to the front-line trenches of northern France. With a German offensive imminently approaching, the officers (Bettany, Graham, Sturridge) and their cook (Jones) use food and the memories of their lives before the war to distract themselves, while Stanhope soaks his fear in whisky, unable to deal with his dread of the inevitable. A young officer, Raleigh (Butterfield), arrives fresh out of training and is excited about his first posting – not least because he is to serve under Stanhope, his former school house monitor and the object of his sister’s affections.

Journey’s End was adapted by screenwriter Simon Reade and produced by Guy de Beaujeu and Simon Reade. It makes its World Premiere in the Special Presentations section at TIFF on September 14. [Source]
